The ShockWave™ v3.0 is our latest refinement of the original ShockWave™. It is typically used in an independent front suspension application. It can also be used in some independent rear suspension applications. The ShockWave™ v3.0 uses a double convoluted airspring bellows to achieve the load capacity required for these installations. The refinements for the ShockWave™ v3.0 are:

1. The availability of double adjustable shock valving so compression and rebound can be adjusted separately for even better ride quality and handling performance.
   
2. The airspring endplates and bead rings are internally screwed together to eliminate the fasteners formally required to join these 2 pieces.
   
3. The airspring endplates are 1" smaller in diameter to increase framerail clearance on many after market IFS systems such as TCI and Heidt's front ends.

Recommended Applications:
IFS and/or IRS installations on vehicles weighing 1500-2500 lbs. per axle. NOT recommended for solid axle rear applications... not enough travel, too much load capacity.

The ShockWave™ 9000 series was introduced in 2000 to accommodate the customers who wanted ShockWaves™ for the rear of their vehicle as well as the front. The key difference of the ShockWave™ 9000 is the tapered sleeve airspring bellows. This allows a softer spring rate, longer travel, and a lower load capacity that is more appropriate for a rear installation.

Recommended Applications:
Rear installations on a solid rear axle where rear vehicle weight is 1500-2400 lbs. IRS installations on vehicles weighing 1500 lbs. or less per axle. NOT recommended for IFS installations...not enough load capacity.

The ShockWave™ 7000 series was developed in 2003 to address lighter weight vehicles with confined space for installation. Its 4" diameter allows placement in a smaller space. The softer spring rate and load capacity offer an even better ride for lighter weight vehicles.

Recommended Applications:
Solid rear axle installations on vehicles weighing 1500 lbs. or less on the rear axle. Also as a supplement to a leafspring rear suspension. NOT recommended for IRS or IFS installations...not enough load capacity.
